"..when he was spotted by a PassApp tuk-tuk driver who reported the affair to nearby police."

Typical of those pathetic PassApp pests.
Called the cops... Hero, ha!
A real cambodian tuk tuk driver would have run the thief off the road, wrestled him into submission and delivered him to the cop shop himself, hogtied.
